How do you approach managing legal aspects during periods of instability or crises, and how does your legal strategy align with the broader business strategy to ensure the organisation’s resilience?

I lead legal and compliance at Mombak, designing pioneering structures that drive growth despite uncertainty and building resilience by turning legal gaps into strategic opportunities to strengthen our leadership in the climate transition.

What are the major cases or transactions you have been involved in recently?

1. Fundraising: Raised USD 120M from leading institutional investors to support reforestation in the Amazon, focused on developing high-integrity carbon credit projects.

2. Debt financing: Structured and raised ~USD 100M in debt, including an innovative financial instrument issued by the World Bank and BNDES funding, marking a historic step in Brazil’s sustainable finance sector.

3. Carbon credit sales: Closed carbon credit sales to Microsoft and McLaren, among other key buyers, under strong environmental integrity standards.

What measures has your company taken to embed sustainability practices into its core business operations, and how does the role of the general counsel contribute to driving and ensuring sustainable practices within the company?

Mombak’s core business is carbon removal to tackle the climate crisis. As General Counsel, I pioneer legal solutions and manage risks in a regulatory landscape that still lags behind the urgent needs of a changing world.

What emerging technologies do you see as having the most significant impact on the legal profession in the near future, and how do you stay updated on these developments?

AI is set to transform the legal profession, unlocking new ways to think and work. I stay ahead by learning from the brightest minds shaping the future of law, staying close to innovation hubs, and collaborating with startups that are redefining the intersection of law and technology.
